A WORD FROM PASTOR KRIS
For many years at FUMC, our Student Ministry group meetings have been held on Sunday evenings. Beginning this month, we have moved to Friday's during the Winter of 2010 - call it a three month experiment. Simply put, it has always been our passion at FUMC to impact as many students as possible. Let's face it, Sunday evenings can be tough. There is homework to finish and projects to wrap up. Families look for that last moment together before a new work/school week begins. Life has gotten too busy...too complicated. We need Sunday for worship and rest. We're taking this huge leap of faith because we believe that we can connect with more students on Friday nights. Students need a gathering place. A place where they can relax and be themselves. A place where they can hang with friends. Jam to some music, play a few games on the Wii or PlayStation, and unload after a busy week, filled with pressures and stress. Students need a place where they can wrestle with life, faith, with issues that students face on a daily basis. A safe place.
Student Life is that place. That venue. That outlet.
We're kicking off a new series on Dating & Sex. We want to equip students to navigate these tricky waters.
Friday nights will either be a bust, or we will connect with and reach more students. We're willing to take that risk. We're willing to take the Friday Night plunge because we love students and believe in them. Come join us.
